Characters/Pairings: Gibbs and Tim (non-pairing)
Warnings: none
Summary: Gibbs has clearly underestimated his youngest agent's knowledge about horses.
"We're going to have to go the rest of the way on horseback, McGee," Gibbs instructed. They'd followed a case out west to New Mexico, and Gibbs opted to take McGee with him this time. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine, Boss."
They joined the guide, who had horses ready for them. As Gibbs prepared to mount, he turned to check on Tim, and to his shock, found him already mounted, and checking the bridle.
"You've ridden before, McGee?"
"I took a few lessons."
Gibbs grinned.
"Can you teach DiNozzo?"
"Easier said than done, Boss."
